“The aim is to win as many matches as possible”

Voro

“The crowd are knowledgeable and even more so in a year like this one. The players are professionals and have to keep on performing well, a player can’t drop his shoulders after making a mistake, he has to get up and keep going. Now we have to focus on Saturday’s game and then three more. We know what we have left and that we don’t have specific aims, so our aim has to be to win as many games as possible. It’s a shame that at this point of the season we’re in this situation, but it is what it is. We need to look for motivation in order to compete in every game. I haven’t seen a replay of the penalty, it’s an instinctive action. It really hurt us and it was hard to come back from that. We can’t do anything about it, just hope that the referees make the right decisions. It’s true we’re getting a lot of penalties given against us.”
